🌍 Local Attractions – Explore Kimberley with Heerengracht Guesthouse
The Big Hole & Kimberley Mine Museum
The world’s largest hand-dug excavation, the Big Hole, is Kimberley’s most iconic landmark. Visitors can explore the Kimberley Mine Museum, which showcases the city’s diamond mining history and heritage.
William Humphreys Art Gallery
South Africa’s only full-time art gallery outside a major city, the William Humphreys Art Gallery houses an impressive collection of South African and international art, making it a cultural gem in Kimberley.
McGregor Museum
The McGregor Museum offers exhibits on Kimberley’s natural history, archaeology, and cultural heritage. It’s a must-visit for those wanting to understand the broader story of the Northern Cape.
Honoured Dead Memorial
This memorial commemorates those who died during the Siege of Kimberley in the Second Boer War. It is both a historical landmark and a place of reflection.
Magersfontein Battlefield
The Magersfontein battlefield is a must for any visitor to Kimberley. It was here that General P A Cronje and his Boer troops defeated the English forces of Lt Gen Lord Methuen who were on their way to relieve besieged Kimberley.
Dunluce House Museum
Dunluce, or Lillianville as it was first known, is a typical late Victorian house with wooden facade and much of the original furnishings. It is one of Kimberley’s most elegant buildings. The name means “strong fortress” and is named after Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland, the land of John Orr’s birth.
Rockwood Conservation
A modern rhino reserve established in 2013, Rockwood Conservation is dedicated to protecting rhinos and other endangered species. It offers eco-tourism experiences and wildlife encounters.
Malay Camp Memorial
A poignant memorial dedicated to the residents of the Malay Camp, who were forcibly removed between 1939 and 1959. It stands as a reminder of Kimberley’s social history and resilience.
Northern Cape Provincial Legislature
This striking African-inspired building is the law-making institution of the province. Its architecture and cultural significance make it a noteworthy stop for visitors interested in local governance and design.

“Our stay at Heerengracht Guesthouse was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the breakfast was delicious every morning. We especially loved how close the guesthouse is to Kimberley Airport and the Big Hole — it made exploring the city so easy. Heerengracht truly feels like a home away from home, and we’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Kimberley.”
